Methodology
The headline figure (84) is an exact count of CQC-registered locations of service type βDentistβ in the South West region. The England total (1,296) is the sum of this one service type across the nine English regions, which are disjoint (each location sits in exactly one region). We never sum different service types together, because a single location can hold more than one. CQC publishes a categorical inspection scheme (Outstanding / Good / Requires improvement / Inadequate), never a 0β5 numeric scale, so this page shows no average and no AggregateRating. No estimates or survey data are mixed in. Snapshot 2026-06-12.
